Pacoima

Mural of Assata Shakur by Kristy Sandoval

Pacoima is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the northern San Fernando Valley. A portion of Van Nuys Boulevard in Pacoima is designated "Mural Mile", with more than 50 beautiful murals representing Pacoima’s diverse cultures in a three-mile radius. Pacoima is also the birthplace of musician Ritchie Valens, and a mural is painted in his honor at the intersectionof Van Nuys Boulevard and Amboy Avenue. I encourage you to stop by my office at Pacoima City Hall, 13520 Van Nuys Blvd., Pacoima, CA 91331 -- a local destination for community gatherings and events including Pacoima's annual Dia de Los Muertos Festival, LAPD Cadet Training and Graduation, and neighborhood movie nights.
